Event: Fit2Train Cycling Base Camp

About the Ride:

One of the most important things that you can do to prepare for your upcoming cycling or triathlon season is to establish a nice base of mileage before getting into the higher intensity pace of racing. Base Camp is an opportunity to validate the work you have done, or kick off your more serious training for races and events later in the year.

This weekend camp will focus on some longer mileage and a fair share of hills. Accumulating and absorbing a healthy chunk of bike volume will raise your cycling (and overall) fitness to a higher level, with a broader foundation of support for bigger things. The outstanding routes will include some of your favorite roads and some new roads as well.

This will be another great base camp, so get your calendars marked and accommodations completed.
